    Thank you for these videos. I have very high anxiety, and whenever I feel a panic attack coming on, I pull up your videos. Watching them always calms me down and usually helps to keep the attacks at least very minor. My husband noticed, and he will even send me them on occasion, just to make sure that I am okay. So, again. Thank you. You have no idea just how wonderful these videos are. 💖💖💖

    Your videos always fascinate me! Every time you bring in a piece so badly battered and corroded and looking like it’s beyond repair and I’m thinking, “There’s no way he’s gonna be able to restore THAT!” and, “How on EARTH is he going to be able to restore THAT?” and you always amaze me! I love watching the sandblasting too, but just as much I love to watch the powdered painting and the curing of the powered paint just to see what color it’s going to be! I also love to watch you meticulously take apart every little piece, clean it, blast it, remove the rust and paint, powder paint it, cure it, grind it, build new pieces, nickel plate it, make new stickers and put them on, and put everything back together again! It’s so fascinating seeing the inner workings of these antiques and collectibles! Wonderful videos!

    What a lovely job. A very simple toy, but with a certain charm about it. A couple of things I found surprising:
    1). when you detached the sides of the hull, I expected them to have taken on the curve of the ship, rather than springing flat and
    2). I hadn't realised that masking worked so well with powder coat. I would have expected the paint to leach under the tape.

      @The Grim Reaper no, not stupid, but depending on were one stands regarding guns, that could have been sarcasm. And outside of the US, making weapons is usually not Something to brag about. Were I come from, the government tries to downplay how many weapons we produce, so I actually could not be sure if you meant it like you wrote it.
      So no, not stupid, just from a different continent.

    That also could have been amazing with just the paint removed, the oil-stain patina looked great on the old tin, but amazing work as always, do love that you powder coat these, and not using cheap rattle cans on them. Classic craftsmanship like this deserves more respect than a 4.98 can of spray paint from the local mega mart.

      Wood rots, plastic melts, deforms, becomes brittle, cracks, rubber melts/ recomposes, and metal rusts. Nothing truly lasts forever, even stone is worn down after enough time. Humanity will only leave plastic behind until over 100 million years pass and that too disappears leaving not a trace that we existed.
